Rabbit ACTN4 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-ACTN4 antibody
ACTN4 Antibody
Phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
IHC: 1:200
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(MBS9608491 at 1/100 staining Human breast cancer tissue by IHC-P. The sample was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The sample was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.)
Subunit Structure: Homodimer; antiparallel (By similarity). Binds TRIM3 at the N-terminus (By similarity). Interacts with MICALL2 (preferentially in opened conformation); stimulated by RAB13 activation (By similarity). Identified in a complex with CASK, IQGAP1, MAGI2, NPHS1, SPTAN1 and SPTBN1 (By similarity). Identified in a IGF2BP1-dependent mRNP granule complex containing untranslated mRNAs. Component of the CART complex, at least composed of ACTN4, HGS/HRS, MYO5B and TRIM3. Interacts with BAIAP1 and PDLIM2. Interacts with PPARG and RARA. Binds to VCL; this interaction triggers VCL conformational changes (PubMed:15988023).
Similarity: Contains one Leu-Xaa-Xaa-Leu-Leu (LXXLL) motif that mediates interaction with nuclear receptors. Belongs to the alpha-actinin family.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Predicted: 105 kDa
NCBI Description
Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a nonmuscle, alpha actinin isoform which is concentrated in the cytoplasm, and thought to be involved in metastatic processes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein (Probable). Probably involved in vesicular trafficking via its association with the CART complex. The CART complex is necessary for efficient transferrin receptor recycling but not for EGFR degradation (PubMed:15772161). Involved in tight junction assembly in epithelial cells probably through interaction with MICALL2. Links MICALL2 to the actin cytoskeleton and recruits it to the tight junctions (). May also function as a transcriptional coactivator, stimulating transcription mediated by the nuclear hormone receptors PPARG and RARA (PubMed:22351778).

Product Notes
The ACTN4 actn4 (Catalog #AAA9608491) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The ACTN4 Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ACTN4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:1000-3000 IHC: 1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ACTN4 actn4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ACTN4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
